"Bull 's-eye!"
As soon as he pulled the trigger, the one-eyed man already knew the result of this shot. He was obviously very satisfied that he was able to fire such a precise shot with the last bullet while moving at high speed.
After the one-eyed man landed on the ground, he rolled forward and stood up.
The intense movement tore at the wound on his broken arm, bringing about a heart-wrenching pain. The one-eyed man groaned.
He turned around and looked at his dead prey. His gaze was as cold as a poisonous snake's.
A piece of trash who can't even hold a gun properly dares to ambush me!
"You —"
The moment his gaze fell on Qi Yuan, the one-eyed man's pupils suddenly shrank, as if he had seen something terrifying happen!
Qi Yuan stretched out his finger and pulled out the deformed bullet from between his eyebrows, leaving a shallow bullet hole. A trace of dark red blood could be vaguely seen seeping out.
Qi Yuan rubbed the area between his brows that was stinging, and his initial shock had completely disappeared.
Other than a little pain, this shot did not bring about any other consequences. Not only was his head not blown up, he was not even injured.
F * ck!
Invulnerable!
What an insane defense!
I can fight ten of them!
"That's it?"
Qi Yuan looked at the one-eyed man's expression with a half-smile. His expression changed from shock to despair, then he slowly raised the rifle in his hand.
"You actually have Enhanced Defense!" The one-eyed man's face was full of disappointment.
There were strong and weak Level 1 superpowers. Enhanced Defense that could withstand bullet attacks was definitely one of the best among combat abilities.
In the world of low-level Extraordinaires, the Combat Domain's superpowers were far more popular than the Mysterious Domain and the Elemental Domain. This was because every Combat Domain's superpower could bring about a huge increase in strength.
In front of Enhanced Defense, a Level 1 Aim without the support of a new era gun was not much stronger than a normal person.
"Before I pull the trigger, can you tell me how many people you have killed here?" Qi Yuan pointed the gun at the one-eyed man and asked.
The one-eyed man was clearly surprised.
"You've never killed anyone before?"
He took a deep look at Qi Yuan. His remaining eye seemed to be in a trance, as if he was reminiscing about the past.
A long time ago, he seemed to have asked the same question. At that time, he had not killed anyone, and there was still a trace of invisible morality that bound his hands.
The scene from that day was very similar to what was happening now. He held a gun and pointed it at a person's heart. At that time, he wanted to kill the hunter, but the trace of morality that had not completely collapsed made him unable to use the last bit of strength he had on the trigger.
Perhaps to give himself the courage to pull the trigger, he couldn't help but ask the hunter a question, "How many people have you killed?"
It wasn't until a long time later that the one-eyed man finally understood why he had asked that question. It wasn't because he didn't have the courage, but because he needed an excuse to shoot.
He needed an excuse to break the invisible shackles of morality!
This superfluous question had allowed the Wild Hunter to see through his weakness. That was why he had lost an eye.
It was also from that moment onwards that the one-eyed man understood an important law to survive in this new era!
The one-eyed man recovered from his memories. He looked at the corpse on the ground, looked at his single arm, and silently took a step forward. Using his chest to point at the black muzzle of the gun, he looked into Qi Yuan's eyes and enunciated each word clearly.
"In this damned world, every trace of superfluous morality is a noose tied around one's neck. This is a truth that I only understood with one eye. Now, I'll give this sentence to you!"
"Before I die, I'll tell you a secret. It was Molin who drugged you and sold you to me. I gave him ten dollars, the price of a bullet!
You can find him in the tavern in Blackstone Town! "
"Now, shoot!"
"Without the noose of morality, is the life of an ordinary person only worth a bullet?"
Qi Yuan muttered to himself, and then directly pulled the trigger.
Bang!
The bullet pierced through the one-eyed man's heart and flew out from his back, bringing with it a burst of scorching blood.
The one-eyed man fell on his back, blood gushing out from the wound in his heart, quickly dyeing the ground red.
The burly body quickly lost its vitality, turning into a cold corpse.
Qi Yuan raised his head to look at the dusky sky before walking into the cave. He took a set of grey combat uniform from a corpse of a similar size and put it on. Then, he took away the bag that the one-eyed man had left on the ground and searched for all the guns and daggers on the ground before leaving the cave. He followed the one-eyed man's method of handling the corpses and began to cut up the Corrupt Wolf corpses outside.
After looting everything, Qi Yuan walked in the direction of the next checkpoint with a bloody bag tied to his waist and the looted guns and weapons on his back.
The sky gradually darkened.
Not long after Qi Yuan left, the one-eyed man's corpse suddenly moved. A trace of pain appeared on his pale face, and his stiff fingers began to forcefully claw at the rock on the ground. The huge force even broke a few of his fingers, leaving dark red bloodstains on the rock.
After a long time, the one-eyed man stopped struggling and stood up shakily. His dark green pupils had lost their original color, leaving only a pure black. It was as if they had been tainted by thick ink, as black as ink.
He straightened his body, looked in the direction Qi Yuan had left, and silently turned around and walked into the cave.
Soon after, the sound of chewing could be heard from the cave, as if a beast was greedily gnawing on the bones of its prey!
…
The [Steel Defense] didn't just provide him with a defense that could withstand bullets. Qi Yuan could clearly feel that his physical fitness was much stronger than before. Even after carrying a pile of loot and walking for two hours, he didn't feel too tired.
When the checkpoint in his consciousness appeared in front of him, Qi Yuan finally saw the human gathering point that the one-eyed man had mentioned – Blackstone Town.
There really is a checkpoint in Blackstone Town!
Qi Yuan halted his steps. In addition to the checkpoint in Blackstone Town, there were two more checkpoints around Blackstone Town, around ten kilometers away.
There were three checkpoints around Blackstone Town. This meant that there were three unknown superpowers!
Qi Yuan's mind began to burn.
"The [Iron Defense] already allows me to take bullets head on. If I can light up three more grey balls of light, I should have enough ability to protect myself. Even if it is a Corrupt Wolf, I will be able to kill it with my bare hands!"
As night approached, the hunters who had gone out to hunt began to return. Some of them carried guns on their backs and held the corpse of a black-toothed rat in their hands. However, most of them were empty-handed. Other than the old guns on their backs, they had not hunted anything.
Several of the hunters glanced at Qi Yuan, who had stopped moving forward. Their gazes swept past the rifles on his back and finally fell upon the AK.
In Blackstone Town, firearms were also an important measure of strength!
Compared to most of the hunters who carried rifles on their backs, the AK might not be as powerful as those weapons, but it was still a decent weapon. At the very least, very few of the normal hunters in Blackstone Town possessed such powerful weapons.
In all of Blackstone Town, aside from the superhumans, there were no more than ten AKs in the hands of normal people.
Boom!
Boom boom!
The roar of an engine came from afar, and an old military-green pickup truck appeared in his field of vision. The truck made a sharp turn and drew an arc in the air, kicking up a cloud of dust. It drove toward Blackstone Town in an extremely barbaric manner, completely ignoring the hunters walking on the road.
The expressions of the hunters who happened to be walking on the road changed slightly. They quickly moved out of the way and let the pickup truck pass first. They did not dare to block the truck's advance.
The old pickup truck drove past Qi Yuan's eyes. Aside from the driver and a middle-aged man who was sleeping in the passenger seat, there were also a few soldiers in uniform standing in the back of the pickup truck. They were holding guns with both hands.
Even though the pickup truck was driving at high speed, they did not sway in the slightest. They were like nails that were firmly nailed into the truck.
The muzzles in their hands were slightly lowered as they swept past the hunters around them. If anyone dared to get close to the truck or raise their guns at them, Qi Yuan had no doubt that they would immediately turn into a hornet's nest.
Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and swept past the soldiers with guns. Compared to the hunters who had died in the jaws of the rotwolves, the soldiers in the truck were clearly stronger. Their auras were more ferocious, and their weapons were more advanced. Even if they were not superhumans, they were still opponents who would be very difficult to deal with.
In the back of the pickup truck, aside from the soldiers with ferocious auras, there were also a few bloody corpses of insect beasts. Among them was a rotwolf whose eyes had been blown out.
The pickup truck carried the soldiers and prey as it drove into Blackstone Town. Even the guards at the entrance did not dare to stop it.
